Soft launch of the upcoming update, the PrePatch 1.1

We are back, and excited to announce that the major update that we have been working on for months now is almost ready to be released.

With this new update, we have made some significant changes that improve not only the tactical aspect of the game but also affect the overall game experience.

Before announcing the official release of the update, we would like to invite those of you interested, to try out the new build and provide us with your feedback. Your opinion is essential for us in evaluating the design and direction of Wartile.

To provide your feedback, we have created two new pinned threads in the Steam Community Forum named Bug reporting PrePatch 1.1 and a Feedback on PrePatch 1.1

If you prefer not to use the Steam forum you are welcome to mail your feedback to us at contact@Wartile.com however this prevent other players to see your feedback and share their experience.

If you want to be an early mover and try out the update and you can find the Beta build in the Wartile – properties Betas.

As we have rewritten the whole story in Wartile, we highly recommend to play the Beta as New Game, but if you want to save your current progress you need to make a copy of your current DefaultSaveSlot, you can find a tutorial on how to do so further down.

How to find the Beta

In your library find right-click wartile and select properties from the drop down menu

In Wartile – Properties select “Betas.” In the window “Select the beta you would like to opt into:” choose “Beta.” Now your Library should start to update to the new build, and once the update has is installed, you should be ready to go.

How to backup your DefaultSaveSlot

If you want to try out a New Game but don’t want to lose your current save game you can find your DefaultSaveSlot here:

Rename it to something else; then the game will create a new DefaultSaveSlot when you start a New Game.

If you want to swap back to your old Save Game, rename the Saved Game file that you want to play, back to DefaultSaveSlot, and it will load when you press resume game.

Maybe keep a safety copy just in case: we cannot guarantee that everything works perfectly fine just yet.

Troublesome yes we know we are working on the possibility to choose among several Save Games.

Please keep in mind that during the next week well will be tweaking the Beta build based on your feedback and our observations with the build; however, we do not expect there to be any significant changes.

Patch Notes 1.1:

A new story

We are excited to introduce a whole new story for Wartile now narrated by an voice actor who did an awesome job of bringing the now story alive.

Game Play Changes

New Encounter system

Our new encounter system is a new interesting way of presenting enemies on the battle board. Instead of a dynamic AI that moves around the board as you play, we have combined the enemy encounters into small static parties that becomes alive when you enter their encounter zones as you explore the board.

Figurine Ability Warning system

Abilities are now visually shown in the UI with an icon and a “casting time” when used.

Abilities can have “casting time” allowing to react and break the casting time

Casting time has been added to the majority of enemy abilities (to give counterplay options)
